One more year, as you most regular readers already know, we celebrate World Recycling Day on May 17! And this time we want to show you the ins and outs of recycling, so that you know first-hand what happens to the glass bottles that you put in the green container and the well-known Tve meteorologist Tomás Molina is going to help us with this. Take a look here at Tomás Molina at the El Prat de Llobregat glass treatment plant: In this post you can read: Recycle glass containers: What is the glass recycling process like? Do you want to talk about perfect recycling? I present to you glass recycling! Glass is 100% recycled: What benefits does Ecovidrio obtain by recycling glass? What are the benefits of glass recycling? Do you want to know more about our initiatives in favor of glass recycling? Recycle glass containers: Glass recycling is an important and effective practice to reduce the amount of waste in landfills and promote environmental sustainability. This article will explain how the glass recycling process is carried out, the benefits it brings to the planet and how to work in a recycling plant.
What is the glass recycling process like? The glass recycling process begins with the collection of glass containers. In order for glass to be recycled, it is Australia Phone Number List necessary that from home we do the selective separation of these containers, which must be deposited in the green containers or Ecovidrio igloos . Spain is the most containerized country in Europe, so it is normal that have one very close. Although you can put many types of containers in the glass container (jars, jars, bottles), you have to know that they are all made of the same material. As no materials are mixed in the glass container, we ensure that the quality of recycling is exceptional. Sometimes we find things in the container that should not be there, such as plastic bags, lids, plugs, ceramic plates... In general, there are few things that are out of place and we manage to separate them easily from the plants. Collecting those containers is the next step.
Trucks that carry only glass always do it or, if they carry other materials, it is because they have compartments inside. Don't worry. You have our word that no one will undo the work you have done separating at home. glass-recycling-truck Trucks take the waste to the treatment plants. In Spain there are 15 so that the trips do not have to be very long. In the treatment plants we convert waste into a resource . This is where recycling really occurs. Through a mechanical process, without the use of water or any chemical element, the glass is cleaned of impurities, labels, lids, materials that do not belong there... We use magnets, eddy currents, sieves... The result is a material very similar to the glass of the initial container, but in smaller pieces... that is called Calcín! Did you know that a good part of the plants are powered by renewable energy? All the Calcín that we produce in Spain is used to manufacture new packaging in our country. That is why glass recycling is totally circular and of high quality. It goes from container to container.
